The Kendalls -- Heaven's Just a Sin Away [REACTION/RATING]

[@margaretk.302]

Father/daughter duo. They had great harmonies. The father suddenly died and we lost all their future music.

[@terrywoodyyc]

One of my faves from the 70's. It was all over the radio for a long time --- always made me smile and tap my feet. Great suggestion Pedal Steel, and a wonderful reaction Don!

[@scottandal]

Love the Kendall’s. This is, in my opinion, is their best song.

[@SallyBedow]

The Kendalls career was just not long enough. LOVED THEM!

[@mikebarnett9012]

Hi Don, this song was a HUGE hit in the mid to late 70's. I believe it may have even crossed over to the pop charts, even though it is pure traditional country. As Margaret K. has already stated they were a father/daughter duo which in itself is a rarity as I can't think of any other Father/daughter duo's in the history of country music. Thematically the song reminds me of the Loretta Lynn song " Wings Upon Your Horns ". Another real good Kendall's song is " Pittsburgh Stealers" which is more of a traditional duet. Thanks for the great request Pedal Steel and great reaction/rating Don.---#UTRCM

WOW - what a blast from the past! This is the only song I knew by them but haven't heard it in decades! Thanks for another smiling day, Don!

[@StevenEverett7]

Wow! A blast from the past. I loved this song. Great voice, nice twangy country music!!!

[@lindanicholson950]

I love the Kendalls. Do some more. It Don't Feel Like Sinning To Me. Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm Already Blue. Just Like Real people. Thank God For The Radio.

[@PapaFixit]

Their sound....the melody, the feel of this song is so rich and full. Subject matter aside I just want to soak in it and sing along. Good stuff from the 70s....lyin, cheatin, stealin,, drinkin.......

[@timfrederick9305]

One of my all time favorite country songs I was 8 years old when this came out so I didn’t understand it til later but it’s a fun upbeat song

[@darrinlindsey]

This song was released in the late 70s. I was in middle school, and this song was all over. It crossed over onto the Pop charts. Not many people, including me, had ever heard of them, and I don't think they were ever heard from again. I think they were a Father/Daughter duo.

[@PapaFixit]

I grew up in a small country church. They had the little kids sing before Sunday school. One day this little kid starts belting this song out.......I laughed so hard.....they couldn't shut the PA down fast enough......lmao

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

Jeannie and Royce! always loved that song, parents used to own the 45 single of it back in the 70's and we wore that record out

[@Nicole_Jewell]

The Kendalls were a father and daughter duo. They are great a duo. Love this song and this reaction.

[@jjohnjoni]

I loved this duo but being father and daughter, they got a lot of flak for singing songs like this. Busy bodies thought it was wrong. I think they were awesome. She is still out there singing! Her father has passed. Another favorite is Pam Tillis daughter of Mel. Great voices.

[@jefftappan7973]

Father ( Royce ) and daughter ( Jeannie ) were big hits in the 70s. Yes, she sang lead vocals and he played rythym guitar

[@PedalSteel-by2hx]

Thanks so much for reacting. Love your your channel!!!!!! If it’s real country a pedal steel guitar won’t be far away.

[@micheled6111]

Couldn’t go into a bar in the year this came out without hearing it about 10 times. To this day I think of two draft beer when I hear this song. “Thank god for the radio” is also a good one.

[@WilAdams]

This duo did so many songs like this including the 'sequel' to this called 'It Don't Feel Like Sinnin' To Me'. The titles of their songs also played off of popular football teams like their hits 'The Pittsburg Stealers' and 'A Dallas Cowboy and New Orleans Saint'. They followed up the 'cheating' blatant 'cheating' songs with 'Teach Me To Cheat' and the "Cheater's Prayer'.

[@isthatwhatemptymeans8222]

Pittsburgh Stealers... mind the spelling...is a fantastic tune they did. The daughter (Jeanie) her voice towers and shines on "Put it off until Tomorrow" another top tier tune. This song, their most commercial, is a gateway drug to more introspective and interesting art.

[@jefftappan3091]

Great song, fine duet. Unusual, because the lead singer is the daughter.

[@stephanietip]

I heard anything from the Kindalls in years.This was a treat

[@toniadugger3954]

Great song!! A real toe tappe

[@tedszweb5268]

A favorite of mine & my wife’s when we do karaoke!😀

[@mamakittyluvsjesus]

I listened to this and didn't comment at the time they also sang thank god for the radio which was also good

[@tinapope7703]

Love that song !

[@geofredotappan9777]

Classic tune

[@warrenburlingame1172]

Great reaction Don. Sorry I've been absent lately. Another great song by the Kendall's would be the Pittsburgh Steelers

[@frankscarborough1428]

Never heard of the Kendalls. This was a good song though enjoyed thanks Don

[@larrybench6398]

Good song by the Kendall's, I would like to request a song by Vince Gill, " If I didn't have you in my world" thanks. Larry Bench.

That’s a father and daughter duo

[@gilberthornick6924]

Jeannie and her dad Royce we're awesome

[@diannthomas5653]

Thanks for this. Only father/daughter duo I know. Are there others?

[@mikebarnett9012]

Like you I couldn't thiink of any. Maybe I'll fire up the Google machine and see what it has to say.

[@ednafenton7558]

Only other gruop l can think of is "The Whites". But they aren't a duo. Love the Kindalls.

[@melaniedeal3518]

Their song Sweet Desire is similar to this song.

[@jamesjarrell8185]

Thanks for doing this one but all are excellent in my opinion Don I like it 💯

[@TracyfromNC]

Yep...just an interesting country type hymn. Yes. I see the similarities with Alison. BTW, my cousin does amazing traditional country hymns from NC plus he fronts a bluegrass inspired and Grammy- nominated band. Please heR my favorite as his voice is heavenly... 4VTy

[@garrettsnipes5264]

@@RockN2Country thanks

[@jefftappan3091]

Do your research, Don, it's obviously a duet, but it's a father and daughter, and she's the lead.

[@RockN2Country]

@Jeff Tappan I already do a lot of work without pay, so how much time do you think I have to do research? Also, it’s not a research channel, it’s a reaction channel. I spend about fifty hours per month and don’t get paid. It’s for fun and I’m gonna keep it that way. As for things being obvious, of course they’re obvious when you already know the song.

[@darrinlindsey]

I would put Karen Carpenter up against your Allison Krause, as the gold standard for female vocals.
